IAG Cargo restarting flights to China
IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG) will relaunch its services between London-Heathrow and Beijing and Shanghai after almost two years, as China reopens its borders to tourists.
From 23 April 2023, IAG Cargo customers will be able to export and import vital goods on a daily rotation between London-Heathrow and Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Services between London-Heathrow and Beijing Daxing Airport will resume on 3 June 2023, with four flights each week.
During the early pandemic period, IAG Cargo offered customers cargo-only services and charters between UK and China to support the delivery of essential cargo needed for the fight against Covid-19. The carrier helped governments and private customers transport more than 11,000 t of vital PPE and medical supplies from China. (cj)
